Here is an epoxy sand eel pattern I find effective. I'm sure there has been hundreds of sand eels tied similar to this but this just happens to be the way I tie it. Friends of mine have caught bonito and FA at Martha's Vineyard on them but I haven't had the opportunity to chase those fish and give it a try myself yet there.

Very nice. As an aside, whenever I come up with a pattern at the vise, I often think it's worthless to give it some name or say that I developed it since it seems that much of what I do has already been done by someone somewhere. Who cares though, as long as it catches fish!
